Chapter 32: The Fifth Temple, The Son of Yama

"Can you go in and see for yourself?" After a brief silence, the first lantern man suddenly said with an uncharacteristically playful look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhou Lingwu heard this and knew that this must be a trap, but although Zhou Lingwu knew that he might be more than lucky after going this time, the curiosity in his heart drove him to the archway in front of him.

The ten towering arches in front correspond to ten different hells, and the temper of each of the people in charge of these ten hells is different, and Zhou Lingwu didn't know which hell to go to for a while.

Then, Zhou Lingwu simply chose one of the big halls and walked forward, when he was close to the door of the archway, the voice of the first generation of lantern bearers sounded again, and he said: "I advise you to go to the fifth hall, the son of Yama is the softest one among the ten halls of the king of Yama, hahahaha." In the midst of the maniacal laughter of the first generation of lantern bearers, Zhou Lingwu walked towards the archway of the fifth hall with palpitations.

The reason why Zhou Lingwu listened to the words of the first generation of lantern bearers is because the black stone lantern in his hand records the appearance of the respective temperaments of the Yama kings of the temple, among them, as the first generation of lantern bearers said, the Yama Tianzi located in the fifth hall is the most soft-hearted person among the ten people, at the beginning of hell, the Yama Tianzi was originally in charge of the first hall of the Yama king, but because he was too soft-hearted and always released the ghost to return to the yang world to repay his wishes, so he was demoted to the fifth hall, The ghosts who came here were all remorseful ghosts who had suffered for a few years in the previous halls, and the Yama Heavenly Son was able to take their jurisdiction more easily.

But the record is that hell has existed for so long, who knows if these Yama kings will change their minds? I used to be a timid mortal like a mouse, and after my death, I became a judge of the Yin Division, and now I am not afraid of heaven and earth, I am afraid that even human nature has almost disappeared to zero!

Zhou Lingwu's one foot had just stepped into the fifth hall, located in the northeast of the land of the sea under the fertile reef in the calling hell, the scenery inside the hell instantly became manic, as if to vent dissatisfaction, Zhou Lingwu's figure wherever he went, the bad weather and environment followed there. In this great hell there are sixteen small hells that punish the heart, these sixteen small hells represent the different sins committed between the yang world and the punishment that should be received, there are those who have their eyes and tongues cut off, there are those who have been disemboweled, and the repeated crimes of the world are not tolerated here, Zhou Lingwu walked on the path paved with loess, and from time to time there were screams of suffering from ghosts from all directions, if it was placed in the past, Zhou Lingwu would have been afraid first, then distressed, and then uncomfortable, But now he hears the miserable screams, and there is no wave in his heart. Everything in front of me is as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

The little ghosts who punished the ghosts saw Zhou Lingwu walking calmly on the loess road were all frightened, who could have thought that the existence of the little ghosts in this world could still scare the little ghosts, and those suffering ghosts saw the abnormal reactions of the little ghosts and thought that the end had come, they struggled to escape, some of the ghosts even disemboweled, the intestines were still flowing outside the body, and the heart, liver and lungs were staggering at the opening and were about to get up and run away, but the hands and feet of these ghosts were tightly bound with ropes made of copper snakes, These bronze snakes are not dead creatures, they mercilessly bite the heart, liver and lungs of the disemboweled, as if they are enjoying a meal. Around this group of ghosts, there are iron dogs eyeing the intestines of the disemboweled, once someone's intestines flow into it, these vicious dogs like loess will be crazy Guo Lai pounced, if you ask me whether there are more copper snakes and iron dogs in the region or more ghosts who suffer and suffer, it is naturally more ghosts, Zhou Lingwu knows, the king of the earth Bodhisattva once said, if hell is not empty for a day, I vow not to become a Buddha. And the head of the fifth temple, Yama Tianzi, also said that if there is one less resentful soul in hell, then there will be one less person with a grudge in the yang world. But the world is full of conditions, the world is hot and cold, when will the hell of such a society be empty now?

Zhou Lingwu kept walking forward, and after a while, he saw the real Wangxiang Tower, which was different from the replica in his lamp mound, and this real Wangxiang Platform didn't know how many zhang in circumference!

The face of Wangxiangtai is semicircular, facing east, south and west, and the curved surface of Wangxiangtai is a full eighty-one miles wide! At the back of the lookout is a straight wall, like a full bowstring!

The north of Wangxiangtai is set up as a high wall with a sword, the platform is forty-nine zhang high, the slope of Wangxiangtai is built with a knife masonry, it can really be said that it is a well-deserved knife mountain, the steps of this knife mountain are full of sixty-three levels.

Different from the lookout in the lamp mound, the lookout in the lamp mound is a mirror, and if you want to see everything in the yang world, you can only observe it through the mirror, but this real lookout in the hell can let people directly see all kinds of the yang world.

Zhou Lingwu knew that truly kind people would not ascend to this stage, and only the evil ghosts who were extremely vicious in the yang world, and did not repent in the underworld after death, and tried in vain to avoid punishment through rhetoric, would ascend to this stage, and see how their relatives belittled and insulted themselves after their deaths.

Today, because it is Halloween, the Ten Palaces Yama has a rare holiday. And it is precisely for this reason that Zhou Lingwu entered the Great Hell of the Fifth Temple, causing such a vision of heaven and earth, and no one came to investigate.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of Zhou Lingwu's coming to hell soon reached the ears of the Yama Heavenly Son, who hurriedly walked out of his home, changed into official robes and went to the fifth hall.

When Zhou Lingwu was walking in front, a team of people suddenly stepped forward to capture Zhou Lingwu and walked towards the public hall of the fifth hall.

Zhou Lingwu carefully observed and found that the public hall of the fifth hall was already full of people, with white faces sitting in the middle of the square, wearing a crown on his head, hanging incense bags on both sides to protect his ears, wearing a ruffled lapel wide-sleeved robe, and boots on both feet; The man holding the wat with his hands on his chest must be the ruler of the Fifth Temple, and the Son of Yama is also! Holding a triangular fork on his left, wearing a splendid battle robe, stepping on pointy boots, his face is fierce and vicious, with a bull's head and horns, a bull's nose and bull's eyes, and a majestic and majestic man is a well-known bull head in the mortal world!

And standing to the right of the Son of Yama Tianzi is holding a long scroll, a brush is sketching in his hand, and a human-faced man wearing a black veil and an official robe must be the judge! And the people who are surrounded by Zhou Lingwu's head and have gaps in the tips of their heads, and the sharp weapons in their hands must be the ghosts of the fifth hall!

Seeing that Zhou Lingwu didn't kneel down after entering the hall, the ghost pawn used a sharp weapon to break Zhou Lingwu's hamstrings, and Zhou Lingwu, who was suddenly hit so hard, knelt on his knees before he could react to what was going on, and the blood flowed, but the strange thing was that Zhou Lingwu didn't feel the pain, she wanted to stand up, but his lower body was like a waste after losing his hamstrings.

Sitting on the high platform, the solemn Yama Heavenly Son spoke, "Do you know what crime you have committed? The sound was so loud that it resounded throughout the Great Hell and made the ghosts of the punishment tremble when they heard it.

Zhou Lingwu replied unhurriedly when he heard this: "Lord Qiyu, I am the judge of the lamp mound, my name is Zhou Lingwu, today's Halloween is a holiday, and when I saw that there was no one to guard the underworld and hell, I thought about coming in to check it out, if I offended, it was really offended." ”

"Drink! What a offense! When the Son of Yama heard this, he didn't speak, but the judge beside him shouted and asked.

Yama Tianzi waved his hand, and then said: "When you left a warning four hundred years after the establishment of the lantern mound, among the early black stone lanterns, the lantern bearer is not allowed to enter the hell for half a step, do you knowingly commit it, are you too ignorant of me?" ”

Zhou Lingwu hurriedly denied this, he couldn't afford to put such a big hat on his head, he waved his hand again and again and said: "My lord, I have only been in office for a short time, and I am not familiar with the reason for this, if I am offended, then I should be regarded as innocent of ignorance." ”

"Bold!" The bull head on the side finally spoke, and as soon as this voice came out, all the wailing ghosts in the Great Hell were shut tightly, and they didn't dare to let out the atmosphere.

The judge spread out the scroll in his hand and showed it to Zhou Lingwu: "This records your words and deeds, this trespass on hell is clearly that you have premeditated, and today you are working with the sinner Qin Wang Yingzheng in a vain attempt to break into the Yin Division and make a big fuss!" ”

Zhou Lingwu defended when he heard this: "What King Qin Yingzheng! You're clearly spewing blood! ”

"Don't you admit it? Take sinners! As soon as the Son of Yama gave an order, the two ghost pawns turned around to leave, and at this time, the bull head said, "My lord, I will go in person." ”

"It's good!"

Not long after, a ghost wearing a yellow dragon robe and carrying a lantern in his hand like Zhou Lingwu returned to the main hall on the triangular fork of the bull's head.

"This person is King Yingzheng of Qin! That is, the first owner of the lamp mound. Yama said.

"I guess you also know that the lantern bearers will be petrified and eventually disappear after the end of their term of office for four hundred years, but do you know that our original intention was to let each generation of lantern bearers become immortals after their term of office expires?" The Son of Yama shouted!
